Segmented pens

This is my first post of pictures. The wood used includes blackwood, canary, redheart, maple. The slimline version reminds me of Target's logo.

Nice work. The color combinations look good.

Neubee, now explain to us laymen how you did the segmenting. The circle segmenting is much different than just sloting a blank and inserting a sliver with some glue. Share your secret!!! Thanks.

"All of the above" would have been my answer too, great work!

I am with Mark and Tim on this, "All the above". I don't think there is one that stands out as being the best. Nice work!

Steve.... Welcome to the magic of round! I believe that neubee (Is that a play on spelling? what happens when a neubee isn't a newbe anymore?) has shown you everything you need to see...

The angled segments (like the left) pen become round on the sides A straight line turns round when put on an angle - blows the mind a bit till you get used to it... Look up the instructions for celtic cross ... same effect here, just instead of a sliver, the piece is solid between the angles!
